color.interactive.<slot>::
Use customized color for 'git-add --interactive'
- output. `<slot>` may be `prompt`, `header`, or `help`, for
- three distinct types of normal output from interactive
+ output. `<slot>` may be `prompt`, `header`, `help` or `error`, for
+ four distinct types of normal output from interactive
programs. The values of these variables may be specified as
in color.branch.<slot>.
affects only 'git-diff' Porcelain, and not lower level
'diff' commands, such as 'git-diff-files'.
-diff.suppress-blank-empty::
- A boolean to inhibit the standard behavior of printing a space
- before each empty output line. Defaults to false.
-
diff.external::
If this config variable is set, diff generation is not
performed using the internal diff machinery, but using the
will enable basic rename detection. If set to "copies" or
"copy", it will detect copies, as well.
+diff.suppressBlankEmpty::
+ A boolean to inhibit the standard behavior of printing a space
+ before each empty output line. Defaults to false.
+
+diff.wordRegex::
+ A POSIX Extended Regular Expression used to determine what is a "word"
+ when performing word-by-word difference calculations. Character
+ sequences that match the regular expression are "words", all other
+ characters are *ignorable* whitespace.
+
fetch.unpackLimit::
If the number of objects fetched over the git native
transfer is below this
gc.pruneexpire::
When 'git-gc' is run, it will call 'prune --expire 2.weeks.ago'.
- Override the grace period with this config variable.
+ Override the grace period with this config variable. The value
+ "now" may be used to disable this grace period and always prune
+ unreachable objects immediately.
gc.reflogexpire::
'git-reflog expire' removes reflog entries older than
kept for this many days when 'git-rerere gc' is run.
The default is 15 days. See linkgit:git-rerere[1].
+gitcvs.commitmsgannotation::
+ Append this string to each commit message. Set to empty string
+ to disable this feature. Defaults to "via git-CVS emulator".
+
gitcvs.enabled::
Whether the CVS server interface is enabled for this repository.
See linkgit:git-cvsserver[1].
Context` menu item is invoked from 'git gui blame'. If this
variable is set to zero, the whole history is shown.
+guitool.<name>.cmd::
+ Specifies the shell command line to execute when the corresponding item
+ of the linkgit:git-gui[1] `Tools` menu is invoked. This option is
+ mandatory for every tool. The command is executed from the root of
+ the working directory, and in the environment it receives the name of
+ the tool as 'GIT_GUITOOL', the name of the currently selected file as
+ 'FILENAME', and the name of the current branch as 'CUR_BRANCH' (if
+ the head is detached, 'CUR_BRANCH' is empty).
+
+guitool.<name>.needsfile::
+ Run the tool only if a diff is selected in the GUI. It guarantees
+ that 'FILENAME' is not empty.
+
+guitool.<name>.noconsole::
+ Run the command silently, without creating a window to display its
+ output.
+
+guitool.<name>.norescan::
+ Don't rescan the working directory for changes after the tool
+ finishes execution.
+
+guitool.<name>.confirm::
+ Show a confirmation dialog before actually running the tool.
+
+guitool.<name>.argprompt::
+ Request a string argument from the user, and pass it to the tool
+ through the 'ARGS' environment variable. Since requesting an
+ argument implies confirmation, the 'confirm' option has no effect
+ if this is enabled. If the option is set to 'true', 'yes', or '1',
+ the dialog uses a built-in generic prompt; otherwise the exact
+ value of the variable is used.
+
+guitool.<name>.revprompt::
+ Request a single valid revision from the user, and set the
+ 'REVISION' environment variable. In other aspects this option
+ is similar to 'argprompt', and can be used together with it.
+
+guitool.<name>.revunmerged::
+ Show only unmerged branches in the 'revprompt' subdialog.
+ This is useful for tools similar to merge or rebase, but not
+ for things like checkout or reset.
+
+guitool.<name>.title::
+ Specifies the title to use for the prompt dialog. The default
+ is the tool name.
+
+guitool.<name>.prompt::
+ Specifies the general prompt string to display at the top of
+ the dialog, before subsections for 'argprompt' and 'revprompt'.
+ The default value includes the actual command.
+
help.browser::
Specify the browser that will be used to display help in the
'web' format. See linkgit:git-help[1].
The port number to bind the gitweb httpd to. See
linkgit:git-instaweb[1].
+interactive.singlekey::
+ In interactive programs, allow the user to provide one-letter
+ input with a single key (i.e., without hitting enter).
+ Currently this is used only by the `\--patch` mode of
+ linkgit:git-add[1]. Note that this setting is silently
+ ignored if portable keystroke input is not available.
+
log.date::
Set default date-time mode for the log command. Setting log.date
value is similar to using 'git-log'\'s --date option. The value is one of the
Tools like linkgit:git-log[1] or linkgit:git-whatchanged[1], which
normally hide the root commit will now show it. True by default.
+mailmap.file::
+ The location of an augmenting mailmap file. The default
+ mailmap, located in the root of the repository, is loaded
+ first, then the mailmap file pointed to by this variable.
+ The location of the mailmap file may be in a repository
+ subdirectory, or somewhere outside of the repository itself.
+ See linkgit:git-shortlog[1] and linkgit:git-blame[1].
+
man.viewer::
Specify the programs that may be used to display help in the
'man' format. See linkgit:git-help[1].
is set to `false` then this file is not preserved. Defaults to
`true` (i.e. keep the backup files).
+mergetool.keepTemporaries::
+ When invoking a custom merge tool, git uses a set of temporary
+ files to pass to the tool. If the tool returns an error and this
+ variable is set to `true`, then these temporary files will be
+ preserved, otherwise they will be removed after the tool has
+ exited. Defaults to `false`.
+
+mergetool.prompt::
+ Prompt before each invocation of the merge resolution program.
+
pack.window::
The size of the window used by linkgit:git-pack-objects[1] when no
window size is given on the command line. Defaults to 10.
pull.twohead::
The default merge strategy to use when pulling a single branch.
+push.default::
+ Defines the action git push should take if no refspec is given
+ on the command line, no refspec is configured in the remote, and
+ no refspec is implied by any of the options given on the command
+ line.
++
+The term `current remote` means the remote configured for the current
+branch, or `origin` if no remote is configured. `origin` is also used
+if you are not on any branch. Possible values are:
++
+* `nothing` do not push anything.
+* `matching` push all matching branches to the current remote.
+ All branches having the same name in both ends are considered to be
+ matching. This is the current default value.
+* `tracking` push the current branch to the branch it is tracking.
+* `current` push the current branch to a branch of the same name on the
+ current remote.
+
receive.fsckObjects::
If it is set to true, git-receive-pack will check all received
objects. It will abort in the case of a malformed object or a
